S4_Dan Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Anybody know where in the East/North Yorkshire/York/Hull area, I can get my Audi Blade cut? I've bought a new key fob with a blank blade, but I've been to 5 different key cutters today and they have all said they can't cut this type of key and don't know where I could get it done?!

nikw Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 To program the key to lock and unlock the car use the guide at AudiWorld. Unless you have the 4 or 7 digit code for your car (usually found on a small plastic tag originally attached to the key ring) and VAG-COM you'll need to visit a stealer to get the key coded to your immobiliser. This requires them to connect your car to a modem which talks to Audi Germany in order to look up the correct codes, which in turn means a charge of half an hour's labour (probably more than you paid for the key!). P.S. Did you get my PM re. key cutting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4_Dan Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi NikW, yes got your Pm thank you. found a local 'van' who cut keys and he did it. I do hav the plastic tag with the code on it. anyone know how to use vag-com and reprogam my key?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4_Dan Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 The key i got for the car is 4DO 837 231 K, however, the car won't lock/unlock via remote from this key? I've replaced the one battery with a brand new one and still the key wont control the car. Could it be a duff key? I have found via etka that 'K' should relate to A6/S6/TT's 2000 onwards. So maybe need another part, A or D maybe? But surely, the remote shuld still work regardless?? Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Not necassarily. You should get the same part number as your original key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4_Dan Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 got a 4DO 837 231 A key for my car today. THe remote works the central locking. Tried using vag-com and the 4-digit SKC to enable it to my car but the key won't respond to my immo. After contacting Audi, during 97 there was a change of the way the immo's worked. Fixed code and Rolling Code (new flip keys). A mix of the new way it works were rolled out along with fixed coding. Appears mine has the fixed code immo as it has a seperate immo unit, where the newer immo unit is in the intsrument cluster (17 on vag-com). Vag-com can't or won't read address 17 on my car indicating the separate immo box. So, I have two keys for sale now. 231 A and 231 K (S6/A6/TT). Pm me if your interested in a spare for your car. Both in great condition. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Your saying that you have an identical part number key and you cant get the immob sorted? What would Audi do if you asked for an new keyring? And do you have the full Vag-Com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4_Dan Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 yes and no! my audi came with fixed keys. 4DO 231 837. but the manual states it should come with flip keys. so got key 4DO 231 837A. But Audi said flip keys are rolling coded and fixed keys are fixed coding. Some A8 came with fixed keys but have rolling coding on them. Obviously mine is just fixed coding. Yes i am using 311.2 registered vag-com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 So basically your car was at the transitionary age? Cant you pester the Vag Com peeps to see if you can get access to that address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
